Term One Reflections: Liam, Charlotte, Matthew and Frederica

Term One Reflection
In Term One, what happened? Well, I learnt how to subtract decimals. I also now know what prime numbers are, but my favourite thing in maths was learning about integers. In reading I liked doing 'The Spice Race' poster and in writing I liked doing my biography about Ole Kirk Christiansen aka 'The Lego Man'.
At Aloha I liked doing the haka in the rain and having some pizza. I also enjoyed seeing all the people there.

Term One Reflection
I really surprised myself this term. I've really improved in my basic facts recall and I've also learnt about decimals. Now I know what they are and I don't get confused with tenths and points. I now know how to read numbers properly without getting confused. 
I think I need to improve in my spelling alot but I am loving writing and reading at the moment and I think the posters have been really fun. 
I learnt alot about colonisation (from The Colonisation Game). Living in 1607 sounds really awful even from the rich. I'm glad I'm alive now.
Art has been pretty cool. I learnt heaps about landscapes.

Term One Reflection
My favourite thing this term has to be having Ruth as a teacher. She is funny and our class has done so much together. I have learnt heaps about the 1600's and what happened to the poor and the rich. The rich got lots of better things than the poor so it has been a very interesting topic.
Our class has done many different sports games like Toe Tag, Go Tag and more but I think I loved swimming sports the most because I came first in freestyle and breaststroke and second in backstroke. 
In maths I have learnt about prime numbers and that 2 is the only even prime number because it is the only even number that can only be divided by one and itself. 
I have learnt in writing that your writing doesn't have to be long to be good. In spelling I have learnt long 'e' and 'a' vowel sounds and that there are eight ways to spell the long 'a' sound.
Next term I am looking forward to camp so I can have fun in the water and forest for five days.

Reflection of Term One
This term I have noticed that I have come out of shell in maths. I am becoming more aware of how to subtract 2 digit numbers from other 2 digit numbers. I am also learning to tell how many tens are in 3 digit numbers by reading from left to right then up. I think I could use my time more wisely doing text book work because I get distracted.
In writing I want to start my writing with a question or in an interesting way to hook the reader in. I want to make more writing more descriptive and I might do that by putting in more facts about what I am talking about.
